Remember me?

I seem to pop in every 6 months or so! I lurk for a while, see how everyone is doing, and then make my obligatory "IM BACK" post, before disappearing again.

Sorry

I work at an Animal Hospital now. It's a tough tough job, but I love being able to help. We had a dog come in today as an emergency, turns out she had a ruptured pyometra. It was super sad. I've seen all different kinds of illness and injury, plus the occasional happy puppy in for vaccines. it really opens your eyes to all aspects of dog ownership when you work in a place like that.

Anyway, still living with Eric and his son now lives with us 50% of the time. We talk about marriage, we talk about babies, and I have never in my life been happier. All that dating what-have-you I went through was just a self-esteem phase I think because Eric makes me feel like the most important person in the world.

The dogs are still good, Bailey gets to come to work with me sometimes and hangs out in the treatment area begging for treats lol. I've gotten her weight back down again too, so she's a happy little 8 year old beagle.

I hope everyone is doing well here, and I will try to check in more. I work till 7pm, and the kiddo is in bed by 9, so during my free time I'll try to swing by more

You're back!!! You should totally stick around longer this time. Glad everything is going well. You all look great.

Of course I remember you! I'm so glad you popped in and am happy to hear you're so happy and everyone is doing fine. Your job sounds interesting and distressing at times, huh. It wouldn't be an easy job, for sure.

You all look terrific (super cute) and the dogs look happy and healthy.

I hope you don't stay away so long next time.

Stick around!! I'm glad to hear you're doing well, how is your baby niece??

Ahh yes my niece! She is 18 months old now and a freakin menace. I love it. She can count to 10 on her own, she knows all the colors, she's freakin smart!

Skyping with her and she gave me a kiss

Owen and Sarah have decided they are "cousins" and they love spending time together.

My sister in law brings Sarah over now, (she was hesistant because of Chance,) and Chance is WONDERFUL with her. She loves coming to AJ's house (Aunt Jenn,)

My job is very stressful. Today we had a ridgeback come in because the other dog in the house attacked it and bit off it's entire ear. Blood everywhere. We stitched her up and wrapped her head, and she's coming back friday for a bandage removal.

We had a dog come in with a "skin infection" that ended up looking like someone poured something on the dog and completely burned it. And then of course the euthanasias are tough. I cry with the owners sometimes.

The 10 week old yorkie puppy that got ran over by the neighbors car was hard too.
